Define the diverter valve behavior during any drop former movements:
1. Open the Commands dialog box ( → page 46).
2. Click the plus sign beside AFC .
3. Click MovementMode . In the MovementMode box, select the movement mode:
Interrupt (default): If the diverter valve is open ("Collect") prior to any movement of the
drop former, the diverter valve will always close ("Drain") prior to a movement and will
open again ("Collect") after the target position has been reached. While the valve is
switched to drain and the drop former moves to the next tube, the delivered sample will
be directed to the waste.
Continue : The diverter valve maintains the previously defined valve state during and
after any diverter valve movement. In this mode, either all sample goes to the waste or all
sample goes through the drop former. This mode is designed to be used with the funnel
rack.
